Banana Bread is classic...with the crunchiness and nutty flavor from the hazelnuts, this loaf continues to appear on our brunch table again and again...we love it. It also freezes quite nicely! Happy baking!Banana Hazelnut BreadIngredients:2 cups organic, all-purpose flour1 cup super ripe bananas, mashed1 teaspoon vanilla extract1/4 cup organic hazelnuts2 large organic eggs1 stick of butter at room temperature1 cup organic sugar (floral sugar is lovely in this recipe as well)1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon rose saltDirections:Cream butter and sugar in a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment. Add eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla. Mix until smooth. In a separate mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda. Mix until combined. Add the bananas then hazelnuts. Pour into a buttered loaf pan (9"x5"x3"). Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. Insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the loaf to check for doneness...the bread is done if the toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool for another 15 minutes. Serve with butter, coffee, and fresh fruit. Enjoy!Recipe + Photography by Cassie Winslow
